Robert Beveridge is possessed of a strange, uncontrollable magic: when he moves to a major city, that city’s baseball team wins its championship series soon after (’69 Orioles, ’79 Pirates, ’93 Phillies, ’95 Indians). He currently still lives outside Cleveland and plans to only live in towns with populations of 10,000 or less for the rest of his life. Recent work has appeared in Third Wednesday, Guide to Kulchur, and The Starving Artist, and is forthcoming in Poetry Breakfast and Sonic Boom.
